Overview

Above pretty Ambleside, on the banks of Stock Ghyll waterfalls, this luxuriant apartment is a part of an exclusive development of an old bobbin mill. The peace of the secluded location and the little river running by are key to the character of this superb Lakeland getaway, and the tranquility and homeliness of Beechside will ensure a truly magical break in the Lakes.

Resonating quality throughout, this elegant apartment will provide you with the perfect base for your special holiday with us. A variety of excellent bathing facilities, first-class bedrooms and a spacious and thoughtfully decorated living space with great natural light make Beechside a really luxurious choice.

The comfortable interior will let you feel at home as soon as you arrive, and the wonderful veranda and balcony allows your party to enjoy a mellow glass of wine or two while overlooking the river of Stock Ghyll and the lovely woodlands. It really is a charming setting, and to see the falls in spate and the trees showing the soft greens of a new spring or changing to their autumn glory is truly beautiful.

Hours of pleasure are to be had from Beechside's thoughtfully provided reading room, where you can immerse yourselves in local culture, and decide on the very best places to visit to enjoy your special time away to the fullest.

Ambleside itself is a premium village destination in the Lakes, ever popular with holidaymakers and mountaineers. The pretty slate buildings and winding streets are crammed with mouthwatering eateries, craft shops, outdoor stores and quirky independent gift shops. A wonderful independent cinema and excellent recreation ground, as well as access to the famous Lake Windermere Steamers and some of the very finest hill-walking in the county, means that your stay at Beechside will be full of activity and happy memories.

Reviews

THis flat made our trip to Ambleside very enjoyable. It was a very well accomodated and organised apartment with a very homely feel to it. THis is our second stay at this property, as thouroughly enjoyed as last time, we loved the welcome basket with the treats inside.
It has an amazing selection of DVDs, everything you need in the kitchen, and is really cozy as well as having astonishing views. We loved the pictures on the walls, they really introduced the Lake District to peaople who haven't been before. We also loved the beds, very comfy and plenty of s[ace in the bedrooms for cothes, toys and belongins.
There was also lots of guides for walks, very helpful as we struggle to find walks easily. The great location and noise levels were quiet susprising! (wasn't noisy at all)
It was easy to find information about how to use showers and boilers
Our stay was very relaxing and we hope to come back for a 3rd visit next year!The McNeill Family
